Design and Build Your Own Crystal Geode Candle Pillar

Transform an ordinary pillar candle into a striking sculptural centrepiece inspired by weathered stone, ancient ruins, natural crystal geodes and steampunk design in this hands-on candle making workshop in London.

You'll build a handcrafted plaster shell around a pre-made pillar candle before transforming it into a unique decorative piece using paints, semi-precious stones, mixed media and optional UV resin.

The result is a beautiful candle pillar that looks carved from aged stone and broken open to reveal a sparkling crystal geode hidden within.Whether you're drawn to dramatic monochrome finishes, shimmering metallic details, vibrant resin geodes or rustic industrial textures, you'll have complete creative freedom to design a piece that's uniquely yours – no two candle pillars are ever the same.

This workshop is made for complete beginners as well as anyone who enjoys mixed-media crafts, home décor or learning new creative techniques.
